Immerse yourself in the meditative art of Japanese ink painting (sumi-e) while deepening your connection to nature in this unique four-session series. Guided by Vivienne Schadinsky, an environmental artist inspired by the 72 Japanese micro-seasons, each session blends mindful observation, creative expression, and ecological awareness.

Through a combination of guided garden walks, breathwork, and hands-on ink painting, participants will explore traditional and intuitive sumi-e techniques, experiment with handmade and found natural materials, and cultivate mindfulness through artistic practice.
